I wanted to write this for a while and I figured there was no time like the present. A little backstory is needed on my crypto journey if you are new to my articles. I have invested/spent zero US dollars, or any fiat for that matter, into the Crypto space. All the crypto I have is from earning it online via faucets, games, blogging, etc. Over the years I have tried quite a few different websites and applications and today I have dwindled that down to a "reasonable" amount and wanted to share what I do to earn crypto and to give a little snip-it about each thing.
The only way this is going to work is to break it down into where I access those various website and apps. I have a Gaming PC that I built and purchased using crypto that I earned from these sites. It has two 27" Dell monitors. I will break down what I have on each monitor and then of course other places I earn crypto as well.
Here are the sections in this article in case you want to scroll to a specific point.

Right Monitor
Background Apps
2nd PC
Mobile Games
Left Monitor:
On my left monitor I have 1 Fullscreen Brave Browser open with multiple tabs. Here are the tabs that I keep open 24/7 and in order that I have them in my browser.
https://play.alienworlds.io/ is where you mine on 1 of 6 distant planets to earn TLM. TLM is it's own cryptocurrency that can be bought or sold on exchanges. You do need NFT's to mine with but when you start a fresh game you will receive the most basic shovel to mine with. If you want to have any chance at getting any decent return on your time investment I highly suggest you purchase better mining tools.
I personally mine on Magor 22:1 because that is where Byron is setup. If you own one of his Gardening Passes (separate NFT to purchase) you can earn his NFT's every hour if you are lucky enough. He constantly has events running for the various NFT's that are dropping and he honestly just have a great Discord community to interact with. I highly suggest you give it a once over.
This is a newer game then the rest on this list. It is in it's 3rd season at the moment and almost done actually. So it's a great time to get into it to start before Season 4. Here you are a little Wombat guy who performs Dungeon Runs at 5min, 1hr, 6hr or 24hr intervals and he might find NFT's or just points that you claim once a day. At the end of the season the amount of points you have correlates to how much EOS or WAX you will receive. You can stake up to 100 WAX NFT's and 100 EOS NFT's to boost your mining power.
You can also get equipable items to boost your Wombat guy as well. It's a fun casual game if you have a few NFT's laying around not being used. I am also in a clan in the game with the great guys and gals in Byron's Discord server. Another great reason to hit up his Discord server here.
This one is a little different because there is also a mobile app that does the same thing but I like to have the desktop version open because well I am on my computer ALL day anyways so it's easier to do it here. Here you can play the Brigade 'game'. Where basically you help out a someone's Taco stand and you earn SHING for helping out. You can also purchase your own Venue/TacoStand and level it up and then people could end up working at yours.
There are a few cryptocurrencies in this game/ecosystem and they are TACO, SHING and ONI. If you play the Brigade game you can help out (read click a button) once every 3 hours. The more and better Brigade NFT equipment's you have enabled the more SHING you will earn. You can also purchase a Extractor that will passively earn you SHING and you just have to go here to collect it every so often.
All the games above have been WAX blockchain based but this one is on the Hive blockchain. You are a up and coming musician and you need to perform missions/jobs to get better and earn better equipment and band mates. This is another truly free to play game. You will earn some NFT's as you complete certain amount of missions and you will earn Starbits for completing missions which is this game's cryptocurrency that you can buy/sell on various exchanges.
Once you get enough Starbits you can also purchase NFT packs with them and maybe boost your earnings in the process. It's a slow paced game. I am at a point where I usually run 5 or 6 missions per day and earn Starbits. So I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to give another game a try.
I love Rollercoin for a few reasons. 1) It's a crypto mining simulation game. 2) although it's a simulation game you can actually withdraw the crypto you are earning in game. You play these little quick flash type games to earn mining power. Then you distribute your mining power to any number of the 7 crypto's in the game. Once you get enough of the specific crypto you can withdraw it to your wallet OR you can reinvest it into the game to purchase miners that boost your mining power without having to play the mini games everyday. You will have to login at minimum once every 5 days to powerup your miners so they will have power and keep mining.
I really hate social media if I am being honest. However I realized I needed a twitter account to enter giveaways and and connect with other cyrpto folks. So there it stays.
I got into this game maybe like a year ago and bought quite a bit of the passive miners. Then the prices tanked and well yeah here we are. Not all ventures turn into big money. I still log in once a day to collect my earnings though. Who knows maybe the prices on SHELL will make a comeback lol
I have 2 tabs open for unmineable because it is what I use with my GPU's to mine for various cryptocurrencies. At the moment I am using them to mine for SHIB INU and TEZOS.
This game is a simple yet fun train game. You need to purchase a few NFT's to get started (a train engine, a conductor, a train car and then a commodity to go into the train car). Once you have the necessary NFT's to get started you can start sending your train from station to station. You will earn TOCIUM for doing that. You will need to use your Tocium to purchase fuel for your train but if you head to train stations that payout decent for the commodity you are transporting then you can make a decent amount of Tocium.
This is a game where if you purchase a Land NFT you can earn passive MSOURCE every hour and claim whenever you want. You can also get a free character card which allows you to claim a pack of 5 NFT's every 8 hours. It does cost 0.6 WAX to mint those NFT's so keep that in mind.
This is the bread and butter of the Taco ecosystem. If you are familiar with exchanges then you will feel right at home here or maybe not, because unlike other exchanges this one is very simple to understand and use. You can easily swap tokens here and you can also very easily put your crypto into various liquidity pools to earn passive income. There are SALSA and MEAL Liquidity pools and basically they are just variations meaning if you stake say WAX in one of the SALSA pools you could earn TACO as the reward. Each pool is different and clearly defined. Last I checked I had 8 liquidity pools that I am apart of.
The nice thing is that each day, usually morning, when I check out my liquidity pools I can withdraw ALL my earning with 1 WAX transaction. You don't have to withdraw each one by itself which is very nice
This one really goes without saying but I check here multiple times a day. I read any articles that the authors I follow have published. I also then start to look around the 'New' section and 'Popular' section as well to find any other gems to read. I try to post as much as I can. I have a 40hr/week job and a family and a house I am rehabbing and other crypto tasks as well as my son's YouTube channel to keep up with. So I don't post as much as I would like to but I post enough to make me happy. :)
I check this pretty regularly throughout the day because I want to check if any of my NFT's have sold or if I have gotten any NFT's from the Alien World's Byron mining, or from the CryptomonKey team.
This is a site where I can track how much I am mining on Alien Worlds. There isn't much more to it then that.
I love Noise. It's a twitter clone where you can post "noise" to each other and give each other small tips in BCH. It's a fun great way to earn free BCH while also learning about your friends or various crypto projects.
I played a lot of Splinterlands back in the day. I kept playing a little until the recent battle/league changes. I just honestly suck at Splinterlands and have been slowly playing less and less.
Here is a game where you need to buy a panda NFT and then you can send him on missions to earn BAM. Rinse and repeat really.
Right Monitor:
Top Left Window:
This is just a BTC faucet where you can claim every 5 minutes. You need to complete a captcha for each claim. There is a minimum withdrawal of 20,000 satoshi's. If you use the Faucet for more then 30 days then you will earn a 10% bonus to each claim.
Here you just need to input your SOL address and complete a hCaptcha once every day and it will pay you directly around 0.009 SOL
Here is a trifecta Facuet. You can claim ZEC and MATIC every day and also 1FLR every 2 days I believe. The ZEC automatically withdraws for me every 2-3 days. The MATIC has a minimum withdrawal of 0.25. You earn more if you sync a Facebook, LInkedIn and Twitter account.
You can claim ZEN here everyday. You need to install the client on your computer to get a address and then once a day you can claim a faucet.
Here are a few Faucets that you can claim hourly-ish, CAIT, Gnokens, Aether, PUFT, FATE are the tokens you can claim here. It isn't a lot of each but its a faucet so don't expect millions.
This is just the browser to check in on my HoneyGain app running on my PC. I won't get into what it is yet (more later) but from here I can check how much I have earned and how much has been sent over to JumpTask. I also stake my JMPT to earn passively on that as well.
I have various Byron NFT's staked here and they earn me DHC (Byron's WAX based token). I log in each day or so to claim my earnings.
Cointiply needs no introduction but I will give it one anyways. Cointiply is the granddaddy of faucets. You can earn some serious "coin" from this faucet (pun intended). There are numerous ways to earn coins on cointiply. PTC ads, watching videos, chatting, survey's and Battle Arena are just some of the ways to earn.
Every 10,000 coins is equal to $1 USD. So every 100 coins is equal to $0.01. That rate never changes but something to take into account is WHEN you withdraw your coins for BTC. Because if you withdraw when the price of BTC is super low then you will get more satoshi's. If you withdraw when BTC is high then you will get less satoshi's. I will talk further down on various ways to earn coins that I do but I always at least once if not more perform the in game faucet to keep my streak going because you earn more for the longer the streak you have.
Top Right Window:
HideoutTV is a site where you can watch videos constantly and earn points. Those points can be withdrawn to Cointiply for coins. The exchange rate is every hideout point is worth 5.66 Cointiply coins. I leave this open 24/7. Every once in a while there is a popup asking if you are still watching so you kind of have to keep an eye on it throughout the day.
This is a passive NFT staking where if you hold Exit Limbo NFT's in your WAX wallet you can claim the LIMBO token here.
Truly the only reason I have this open is to collect my GBM rewards. It's not a lot of WAX but it's free so I can't complain.
This is a hourly faucet that gives you... wait for it... Litecoin. :) It's pretty simple actually. Just check it every hour and claim LTC. There is a minimum withdrawal of 0.01 LTC
Bottom Left Window:
This is just like HideoutTV where you watch vidoes and earn points and then convert those points into Cointiply coins. The exchange rate is 5.1 Cointiply coins per point. So it is a little less exchange rate then HideoutTV however I can earn way more points here then on HideouTV. I withdrew both at the same time and then next time I withdrew I had 3,100 Loot points worth 15,810 coins and then I have 1,602 HideoutTV points worth 9,078 coins.
Bottom Right Window:
This is a 3rd site where you watch videos and earn crypto for it. However on this site people put pay to put up videos to watch and then all the viewers get the cost distributed to each of them. So it's a little lower rate at earning however you also can earn CryptomonKey NFT's and the crypto you earn is BAN. It will auto pay you once you reach 10 BAN.
Background apps:
HoneyGain is a background app that basically utilizes your internet connection and securely shares it for various means. If you have a limited data plan I DO NOT recommend using this application. However if you have unlimited data then you are wasting your internet for not putting it to good use. You just have to setup it up and let it run passively. It couldn't be any simpler really.
As stated above I use unmineable to mine for coins that are not PoW coins. I personally have 3 Nvidia GPU's that I use the T-Rex mining software on and point it to the unmineable servers. I don't make a ton but I make some so I keep going at it. It will be interesting to see what happens when ETH goes PoS though and all those miners move to other coins.
Discord:
There are too many servers to mention here but this is how I keep up to date on a lot of projects and artists.
2nd PC:
I run a few things on this PC like Plex and my Minecraft server but for the sake of this guide all that really matters is my Theta Edge node that I am running.
What it does is allows me to contribute to the Theta blockchain and also earn passive TFUEL for using a little bit of my network/internet. I highly suggest you give it a look and see if this is something you want to partake in. I also stake my TFUEL to my node to earn more passive rewards but you need at least 10,000 TFUEL to do that.
Mobile Phone:
There are a few games that I play and I am going to attempt to list them all out in a clear manner.
I have posted about Coin Hunt World but what the game is on a basic level is a real world AR game where you go around your town and find these 'booths' and you unlock them each day with a key and answer a trivia question and earn BTC or ETH. Once you have accumulated $10 in those cryptos it will autopay out to your Uphold wallet. Please note Uphold really really wants you to KYC.
This is similar to CoinHuntWorld in a sense that it's a real world AR game. You 'purchase' a plot of land in game and it will earn your income in USD values. It's NOT a lot but you can also walk around your town and collect diamonds to earn in game bucks which once you have 100 you can purchase another plot of land and increase those rewards.
**If you use the referral link that is linked here you will get an extra 200 bucks in game after you get your 10 plot of land**
This is a faucet app where every hour you login and claim Nano. The longer you go without withdrawing the more you earn and the more you claim the more you earn as well.
This is a mobile app faucet as well. You login every hour and claim. The minimum withdrawal is 100,000 litoshi's and once you hit that threshold it is auto paid out on Tuesday's.
This is the mobile app for Cointiply. Not much else to say for this guy. I log in usually in the morning to get the claim to make sure I never miss the daily bonus streak.
I purely use this app just to login to claim the free 'TACO' every 3 hours when I remember.
I sometimes use this app to play the Brigade app when I am not around my PC for a while.
This is a pedometer app that pays you out in SWEAT token for the more steps you take.
This is a fun crypto mining simulation game. But sometimes BTC satoshi's popup and you can get them and it pays out to the ZEBEDEE wallet. You can claim withdraw 500 satoshi's each day.
I have a love hate relationship with Wombat but here you can create a EOS wallet and then in the app you can download various other games to earn wombucks which you can use in the Wombat app to join the season rewards and earn a portion of EOS each season for how many Wombucks you earned.
Various wallets:
I have a few wallets just to manage things while I am away like: Atomic Wallet, Kalium, Natrium, Trust, Helium, Bitcoin.com Wallet, Hive, MetaMask and Ledger Live.
Honestly I think that I everything I do from a daily perspective in the crypto world to earn free Crypto. I can personally say I have made a decent amount of crypto over the years without investing a single USD into it. So you can to if you put in the time and effort.
Full disclaimer:
Most of the links in this article are links directly to the website or game or faucet in question. There are some that are referral links because well let's be honest I would love it if people used my referral links. I thought long and hard about attaching a normal link and a referral link in those instances but A) I didn't want to do that extra work and B) I thought it wouldn't look as clean if I did it. So to all of you who don't want to use a referral link (which is totally fine) just hover over the blue hyperlink and see the website it is pointing to and it will tell you if it's a referral link and you can just type in the main URL manually if that's the case.
I have no vested interest in these websites or apps except I use them to make crypto. I can't guarantee you will make a lot of crypto with them but all I can do is give my experience and my thoughts on them. Your mileage my vary.
**I know the screenshots of my monitors is crap but Publish0x requires images to be 2MB or less and well a 1440p resolution screenshot of a 27" monitor was fairly large so I had to shrink it down to 2MB and that size was the best I could do.. I am sorry :(**
